“Something you wanna tell us, brother?” Chance asked.
“Got an interest,” Levi stated shortly.
Chance’s eyebrows rose.
Levi held his gaze, knowing what was coming.
“How much of one?” Bear demanded.
“Enough. Think I’d take any random woman dancing?” Levi replied.
“Shit, another one bites the dust.” Bear chortled.
“Shut up. Tell me what the hell is going on,” Levi snapped.
He was not one to wear his heart on his sleeve. His emotions were his own to own and none of his brother’s business. All Hellfire needed to know was he had an interest in Madisen. Shit, Levi wasn’t sure how much an interest he even wanted. He hadn’t been looking for a relationship, but it seemed he was heading for one, and he was unsure how he felt. Until he knew for sure, Levi wanted everything kept to himself.
“That’s all I got. Jaggers said that two nights on the trot somebody dropped a parcel off at their home. The first held a human heart, the second had a pair of breasts. But during the day, she also received a teddy bear and chocolates and a bunch of flowers delivered to the club. So Lio thinks there’s two with different ideas about her,” Tiny explained.
“Fuck me,” Levi muttered.
“Nah, not my type,” Diesel chipped in, and Levi sent him a dire look. Ever since he’d claimed his brother, Diesel had been positively jolly. And Levi didn’t like that. It was time his brother returned to his dour self.
“Not the time or place,” Levi growled out.
Diesel smirked.
Levi shook his head in almost despair. Now Diesel appeared to be developing a sense of humour. Shit wasn’t right.
“So we’ve been asked to keep an eye out?” Chatter piped up.
“Yeah. They’re upping security at the home and business. Seems Madisen has some powerful players in her corner. The McKenzies, top crime lords in Florida, have appeared at her house. Three of the brothers, their top bodyguard and two cousins of theirs. The girl has contacts and doesn’t seem to be afraid of using them,” Tiny replied.
“She’s mob?” Pyro exclaimed, shoving his chair back. “We don’t want shit with them when we’ve got the Fangs.”
“She ain’t. She’d be mafia,” Levi muttered.
“Oh, that makes stuff so much better,” Shotgun murmured and avoided Levi’s gaze.
“If I claim her, Madisen would be Hellfire,” Levi said loudly.
“Never put an old lady to a vote. Did away with that, as I believe you can all make your own choices. Right or wrong, we respect them. But mafia, Levi, that shit ain’t gonna wash here,” Chance warned.
“Madisen left the life. You know what you told me, Prez. Now we refuse her? Because she has called for help and protection?” Levi demanded.
“If she’s calling in guys like the McKenzies and they are answering, Madisen hasn’t left the life,” Chance retorted angrily. “We ain’t taking on the mob, mafia, or whatever the fuck the McKenzies wanna call themselves. Venomous Fangs are making moves, and we can’t be fighting on two fronts.”
“Oh, but if it was Clio? Or wait, didn’t Alice get our fuckin’ home blown sky high? That shit’s okay. But as it’s me and I want someone, we get a different tale,” Levi yelled. Anger hit him hard.
Had they forgotten the cult already? Fuck him and them. If Levi wanted Madisen, he was going to claim her and screw this bullshit about voting on her.
“Watch your mouth,” Chance warned softly.
“Watch your own. Nobody ran from Alice or Sallie-Anne when we discovered their connections. The McKenzies could be valuable allies. But no, I finally step up and say maybe I want something and you all turtle up and hesitate. I never once hesitated with any of your women. Not once. But I see how it is,” Levi exploded.
His head felt like it was turning inside out. The frustration he kept bottled up, the dangerous anger was trying to escape the tight control he had on it. They thought Pyro was bad, Levi held a serial killer deep inside him screaming to be released. He had to get out of there, go to his place before the fucker escaped and bloodshed rained down upon Spearfish.
Without a word, and ignoring his brother’s protests, Levi rose from his chair and fled. He hit his bike with Chance bellowing at his heels and roared out. He couldn’t be around Hellfire right now.
